An in-depth report on the military build-up on the island of Guam produced by PBS Now is here. The report is interesting because the U.S. doesn't appear to take into consideration the wishes of the people of the island if in fact they want the build-up.

Today in Seattle the sky is cloudy and the wind is cool, coming in from the west, over the Sound. It's unusual weather because everyday here, thus far, has been sunny, hot, and wonderful. Here's a short run-down of my Seattle trip up to now:1. Arrived last Tuesday, stayed overnight in Ballard, a quiet neighborhood in north Seattle. I manned the BBQ grill, preparing chicken and veggies on kabobs.
